Bush wants to Honor our Fallen/Wounded(Iraq) by continuing the fight
hoping for a way out in the meantime to save face..."So that our troops did not die in vain."
..."we must go on"....

Aaaaanddd, what if, just what if....there is NO WAY BUT RETREAT....?

as Reagan did in Beruit a few years back....we pulled out in a re positioning manuver to our ships off shore.... then we came home....

No more deaths after that..so what we lost a little face.,...no more deaths/wounded for nothing....

I only wish we could all save face but it sure don't look that way.

Because of Ignorance and lack of Historical Knowledge/poor advice...Bush has us cornered in such a way....we turn out to be the bad guys in the eyes of the insurgents...to the point they think nothing of suicidal attacks to hurt/kill us/US Troops.

The odds for success in pulling off this war is looking dismal at this point.

Coime, we go count the ODDs.

1. And thereby violating the First Rule of Holes...
... if you find you're in one, stop digging. It gets more like Vietnam every damn day.

2. You got to know when to fold your cards and cut your losses
but W is in a win-win position. He and his donors made out like bandits in the ME war. He made them richer than they ever dreamed.

12. Or by reducing the benefits of living FFs and Widows
which is what happened....Bush has cut Fed Aid to FFs, Police, and Vets....

How the Sheep who continue to back Bush cannot/will not see this ... ..... is beyond comprehension...in view of the fact....many of their sons and daughters are paying the ultimate price...for a pack of lies....
